Actually, IMHO, yes. I won't go into it here and it is just my opinion.
What I do think and hope might be coming clear is, each one of us has our own compass and while every newbie that comes here would do well to first stop and breathe...
And I believe that most who are here to support, look at that first...
After that, a LBS really should be considering what I think is important factors in their own core belief systems.
If they believe an A is unacceptable and there is NO excuse (and I am actually of that camp, to a large degree) from a zero tolerance perspective, than guiding them in a more moderate or soft approach may not be helpful.
OTOH, when someone is of the belief that MLC is a real, albeit non-medically diagnosable or treatable condition, then supporting them through a softer approach might be more helpful.
I actually believe, from what I've observed here over the past year and a half, that both approaches appear to be "equally effective". Again, my opinion.
